First run out i hit a 15.08 followed by another 15.01. So i was getting upset, but close to 14.9. In september i ran 2 14.9's and that 14.82. Third run i hit like a 15.3 with a bad 2.4 60ft. I ran 15.3 stock!! Then i get a 15.12 and then a bad 60ft with a 2.5..worse ever!! I ran a 15.4. Now i know obviously the runs with the bad 60fts were the cause...but 20 degrees in weather hurt me that much?? There was another guy with an 02 GT i assume an auto..dunno but he said he normally ran 14.6 and he couldnt get lower then 14.9 so i am guessing it was the heat and track prep. I normally ran 2.2 60fts before so i even tried feathering it but i guess my generic tires sucks ass and only hit 2.2 once. Since last Sept i added the 351 spoiler over the 281, i dont think it woul hurt it that much tho. I am guessing it was the heat. I seen another 04 GT, dunno if it was auto but engine looked stock and it ran a 15.07. An 01 Cobra vert ran a 14.4 so i am guessing everyone was suffering. Very upset tho...oh well. Only highlight was i raced a 99+ Trans am. I knew i was gonna get killed esp the way i was running. So i get the jump, like a .6 light and he has a 1.2 light..i lead the 1/8th and then he catches up and passed me..i was like shit. Then he misses a shift!!! I was like yeahhhh so then i go by passing him and get to the line first!!! wooo hooooo..and thats what i said in the car, only highlight of the night. I did run an rsx type s, dont know what year but he ran 15.5 and i ran a 15.01 that time and beat a civic SI so at least i still took the rice out.. Sucked..oh well i am gonna get my PI intake on and tuned..and wait til it gets a little colder then run it. My car didnt get a chance to cool down between each run either. Sure did shift hard, it was awesome on that aspect

weather conditions will affect your car big time, head out again on a nice cool dry night.
